  • Dedication means spending whatever time or energy is necessary to accomplish the task at hand.

  • Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray.

  • Where there is no temptation, there is no virtue.

  • The temptation shared by all forms of intelligence: cynicism.

  • Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.

  • Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?

  • No silver saints, by dying misers giv'n, Here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heav'n; But such plain roofs as Piety could raise, And only vocal with the Maker's praise.

  • To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard. Become a saint of your own province and your own consciousness.
